ABOUT LAST MINUTE MARKET

Last Minute Market is an academic spin-off of the University of Bologna engaged with food (and non food) waste reduction and prevention. With more than 10 years of experience, it works in close contact with companies and public administrations across Italy developing, implementing and monitoring food (and non food) waste prevention projects. Thanks to the projects activated by LMM, unsold or not marketable (but still edible) products are donated to charities supporting people in need. LMM also performs research activities, training courses, and data analysis on food waste across the whole supply chain. It also promotes initiatives aimed at drawing public, private and governmental attention to the food waste scandal. ... toward zero waste

RESEARCH

Last Minute Market applies research activities conducted by Prof Segrè, Director of the Food Science Department at the University of Bologna (Italy). Since its beginning in 1998 as a research project, LMM activities go together with intense research investigating food waste causes and its environmental, nutritional, economic and social impacts. Ad hoc projects, developed according to the needs of the public and private contractors, take ground thanks to a collaboration between academia and entrepreneurs.

DATA ANALYSIS Analysis of data on recovered food Data analysis on food waste and its environmental, nutritional and socio-economic impacts is one of LMM main activities. Methodologies and evaluation come from the research activities developed at the Dept. of Agro Food Sciences of the University of Bologna. Expertise is provided to the enterprises that have activated recovery projects.

Waste Watcher An Observatory to investigate waste causes, quantify them, promote good practises and the reduction of food waste. The Observatory was launched during the 2013 campaign “A Year against Food Waste”. It firstly presented data from a household food waste survey carried out in Italy in collaboration between the Dept. of Agro Food Sciences and Technologies, the Joint Research Center (Insitute for Consumers Health Protection) and the Karlsruhe Institut fur Technologie (KIT).

COMMUNICATION

LMM, in collaboration with the Dept. of Agro Food Science and Technologies (Univ. of Bologna) launches every year the awareness raising campaign “A year against waste”. The campaign, launched for the first time in 2010 with the patronage of the European Parliament - Commission for Agriculture and Rural Development, is dedicated every year to a different topic: «waste of food» in 2011, «waste of water» in 2012, «waste of energy» in 2012, «ZERO waste» in 2013, toward a holistic approach to the concept of “sustainability”. The European Resolution to reduce food waste passed in January 2012 and the Charter for Zero Waste municipalities signed by hundreds of municipalities, provinces and regions are among the main achievements of the campaign.

LMM is partner of the FUNSIONS project. FUSIONS aims at harmonizing the procedures adopted by Member States for accountability, monitoring and measuring food waste along the whole food supply chain. The overarching goal is to support the developing of a new European common policy to fight food waste. FUNSIONS is financed by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission. It consists of 21 partners from 13 countries. Started in August 2012, it will end in August 2016

Agricultural production 1.500 875

Food processing 1.700 1.100

Distribution (Retailers) 380 1.500

The environmental footprint (some exemples)

Food left in field

1.2 billions m3 of water ~ the ISEO Lake

Food wasted along the whole food supply chain

3% of the final energy consumption ~ final cons. of 1.650.000 italians

3.4 million tons of CO2 eq ~ 5 mln considering disposal

The whole

According to «Waste Watcher», the new observatory on food waste recently launched by Last Minute Market, the food wasted in Italy in 2011 within the whole supply chain (from farm to fork) amounts to approximately 1,19% of the Italian GDP (2011), roughly 18,5 MLD €. Domestic food waste accounts for 0,96% (~ 15 MLD €) while the production, processing and distribution stages altogether account for the remaining 0,23% (~ 3,5 MLD €)

CASE STUDY: HOUSEOLDS

Food wasted from farm to retailers 0,23% of GDP

Food wasted by domestic

households 0,96% of GDP
